Posted on May 20, 2011 at 2:32pmI know that all of Israel feels the prayers coming from this nation! From both Christians and Jews! America (as a whole) will not stand with a leadership that denies our brothers the blessings that God has admonished us to provide.

Posted on May 20, 2011 at 2:27pmNetanyahu seems to be such an honorable man. I would feel so safe if he was in charge of the U.S. Obama looked so horrible seeing there and everyone knowing that you can not trust one word that comes out of his mouth. Obama acts like he is trying to keep them safe when he is not keeping any of our border safe.

Posted on May 20, 2011 at 2:12pmSen. James Inhofe (R-Okla), in a statement released after the president’s speech, said: “This proposal is a slap in the face of our friend and democracy’s only ally in the Middle East: Israel. As a nation, we should support and promote freedom and democracy in the region, but we should not do so at the expense of Israel. That land belongs to Israel – period.”
“Based on archeological evidence and historical right, that land belongs to Israel,” said Inhofe. “As I have outlined several times before, Israel is a strategic ally to the United States that acts as a roadblock to terrorism. Every other country in that region hates Israel and would stop at nothing for Israel’s destruction just as they would stop at nothing to see our own destruction.”
“President Obama’s speech today kowtows to the very forces that hate us,” said the senator. “I will try to address all these issues on the Senate floor next week to refute President Obama’s message today.”

Barry doesn’t speak for the majority of Americans he is speaking for his base and nut jobs that believe in him.

Posted on May 20, 2011 at 2:01pmThere is something going on behind the scenes — the PM and Obama are not actually at odds over 1967 borders. Obama just shot a warning shot over the bow of Israel’s boat.
The U.N. group of global elitist thugs wants Israel to play ball with them regarding something undisclosed. The Israeli PM has refused. In response, the U.N. has threatened in turn with a September vote for Palestinian statehood. Israel still refused to play ball with them. Then pressure was put on Obama to twist the PMs arm by suggesting that they will unite in support against Israel on the September vote, if the PM continues to refuse.
Now — the PM is taking a trip to the U.S. It appears as though the PM is now giving in to the pressure and will comply with what these global elitists of the U.N. are insisting upon.
Dont think we are not already under Global Governance, guys. Who do you think, placed our troops in Libia? The Congress? By the way…the War Powers Act states that, after 60 days, w/o Congressional Approval, the troops have to come back home. You had better watch who, in Congress, scrambles quickly on this measure, to get a bill going….THOSE CONGRESSMAN WILL BE PROGRESSIVES and servants of the U.N. governing elites. Keep your eyes and ears open, now that you know what is going on. It is going to get interesting. Monitor the changes in Israel in the next couple of months. Something pretty big is going on at this time.

Obama looked like a lawyer/politician, and Netanyahu was an honrable STATESMAN !
Obama can read a teleprompter like nobody. But…
PM Netanyahu doesn’t have to. He KNOWS the facts. He BELIEVES what he is saying.
The difference was STARK !
Obama should never have agreed to do that news conference.
It placed him in direct contrast with an honest and sincere man.
Obama has almost always looked great on his own, but, when put side by side with a sincere statesman, the comparison leaves “NO COMPARISON !”

Posted on May 20, 2011 at 4:01pmHow delightful, truly hoist with his own petard. Obama thought he could pressure Israel by publicly boxing them in right before their meeting. Instead he gets his hat handed to him in a public rebuke of all he announced yesterday. Now he has egg all over his face and can either suck it up or counterstrike in a way that leaves no doubt about his hostility towards Israel.

Posted on May 20, 2011 at 7:15pmObama’s father precluded his being a “natural born citizen” meaning born on U.S. soil of U.S. citizen parents; he is further ineligible by dual citizenship for being born a British citizen pursuant to the British Nationality Act of 1948, as his father was a British citizen of colonial Kenya.[1]
NBC encompasses citizenship and requires being born of citizen parents. The Art 2, Sec 1, exemption from being a NBC “or a citizen of the United States …” wasn’t needed if NBC means a citizen.
A NBC also means more than excluding naturalized citizenship. Congressional eligibility already does this by setting 7 and 9 “years a citizen” for House and Senate. With no allowance of years set for POTUS, foreigners would be eligible at naturalization. This incongruity logically proves naturalized citizens aren’t eligible.
Each authoritative definition of a NBC stipulates citizen parents (plural). First Congress, Ses II, Chp 3, Sec I, 104, 1790: “the children of citizens.” Bingham, House floor, 1866: “of parents not owing allegiance.” Supreme Court, Minor v. Happersett, 1874: “of parents who were its citizens.” Senate Res 511, 2008: “born to American citizens.”
Otherwise a foreigner and a naturalized citizen’s child, if born on U.S. soil but raised abroad until age 21, at 35 is eligible for POTUS. Equally untenable, is Obama setting a precedent of dual citizens being eligible.
